Watching Man City game in Madrid

[Meols Kopite]

Did you have the misfortune of finding a bar with it on?

[Matt]

Mate, come and watch it with the Madrid Reds in the Triskel Tavern calle San Vicente Ferrer, 3, (Metro Tribunal). More info here: www.madridreds.com

(Our pub is too small for the Real Madrid game though - would advise that anyone without a ticket heads to the huge mega pub the Irish Rover near the Bernabeu - you can hang around the stadium until the last minute that way.)

Here's some general Irish Pub info for Madrid (though the beer is cheaper in the Spanish bars):


Our place is tiny and closed during the daytime - stick to Plaza Mayor and Moore's there or check out the Irish megapub the Irish Rover near to the Bernabeu closer to the game and afterwards.

BERNABEU:

The Irish Rover MAP: http://tinyurl.com/ao9qlz
Avda. del Brasil, 7 (Metro: Santiago Bernabeau)
Hosts weekly live Celtic music concerts and magic shows. It also boasts a satellite TV and car park service. Food-wise, the pub offers lunches, including daily fixed-price menus as well as a catering service. With a traditional Irish pub atmosphere, The Irish Rover is a little piece of Ireland right here in Madrid. Now featuring the homemade American desserts of Uncle Paul.
Open weekdays, 11:30am-3am, later on weekends

Some other pubs:

SOL (5 mins walk from Plaza Mayor)

O'Neill's MAP: http://tinyurl.com/bkz86d
Street: Calle del Príncipe, 12
Metro: Sol / Sevilla (Red Line, L2)
Like the Rover, another massive Irish pub, probably open until 3am. Close to Plaza Santa Ana, another good drinking square...

Dubliners
Street: Calle Espoz y Mina, 7
metroMetro: Sol (Red Line, L2) Plus 2 minutes walk
This Irish bar is right next door to O'Connells bar. It has large screen TVs with football. They had gimmick drinks, and you can get a pint of whisky and coke or vodka and speed for 8 euros. Or if beer is more your taste you can get a bucket for 15 euros. They also do their own house special cocktails. This is a cosy Madrid Irish bar and the front windows display olde worlde items of furniture for that authentic touch.

Moore's (Plaza Mayor)
Felípe III, 4 (Metro; Sol)
Open everyday, 12:30pm-2am
Tel. 91 365 5802
One of the first Irish pubs to open its doors in the capital. Since then, two more have been added to the line-up: Moore's near Plaza Mayor and Moore's near Bernabéu Stadium. All three are a combination of cozy atmosphere, friendly staff, good quality food, excellent sports coverage and live music. Moore's Barceló has a pub quiz on Mondays whilst Moore's FelipeIII hosts one of the best student nights in the city on Thursdays with promotions and special prices on drinks. The newest of the three Moore's on Gutiérrez Solana has a top-class restaurant - just in case Figo or Zidane are feeling a bit peckish. And if you want to stay out a bit later, their dance floor "La Cueva" is open until 5am.
Open everyday, 9am-2:30am
Tel. 91 532 6331

O'Connell St.
Espoz y Mina, 7 (Metro: Sol)
A gret pub for deals on drinks, food and music, as well as sport. You can relax with a bucket of beer for €12 (six bottles of Heinken or Coronita) while watching football, rugby or the NFL. Highly recommended are the huge club sandwhiches, burgers and salads. but really, everything they've got to snak on is good value for your money. They won't let down music lovers, either; you can watch live bands such as Poker Band, Mardu, Green River Band, Firefly, and The Gran Vía Underground Orchestra Thursday through Sunday. Most importantly, don't forget Happy Hour, 7pm-10pm everyday.

Legend mate, thanks for all that info, unfortunately I didn't see it in time but we stumbled upon Dubliners and O'Connells just by wandering round.

4 quid for a pint of coke in there the dirty *******s! Madrid is class though, I'll definitely go back and check out the Triskel Tavern though.

I was meant to be in Madrid on a Staggy this weekend, couldn't find cheapo flights, so I thought £500 for the weekend was a bit steep...

Ha thats scandalous - saying that I ballsed up the date of my flight out so had to pay over 30 quid to re-book which stung a bit.

Yes mate - sat next to a table of Irish mancs unfortunately. Thought we played well first half though, the tempo was quicker than we've played for a while and we were unlucky not to win. Saying that though City always looked dangerous on the counter.

Oh and cheers to Mike/PTP for the PM and email
